Acupuncture

Acupressure

Acupressure is widely used in Eastern medicine and various different techniques have been developed.

Acupressure can be used over general areas of the body to promote the flow of Qi and Blood through the meridian system. This approach can be invaluable for minor channel disharmonies involving a local congestion of Qi and Blood.

Cavity press massage concentrates on applying pressure to specific acupuncture points in order to achieve specific systemic changes in the body. Different forms of pressure are applied depending on whether the aim is to tonify, to reduce or to achieve a more neutral, calming effect. The choice of points used in any acupressure prescription will be based on a differentiated diagnosis resulting from an exploration of the patterns of disharmony.

Acupressure massage techniques can be used in conjunction with other approaches to treatment in Eastern medicine.
